Total Lymphocyte Count as surrogate marker for CD4 Cell Count in HIV-Infected Individuals in Gondar University Hospital, Northwest Ethiopia
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND The high cost of CD4 count estimation in resource-limited countries is a major challenge in initiating patients on highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). Therefore, assessment of inexpensive and simple laboratory diagnostic marker is mandatory to diagnose immuno-suppression. OBJECTIVE To evaluate utility of total lymphocyte count (TLC) as surrogate marker for C...

متن کاملUtility of total lymphocyte count as a surrogate marker for CD4 counts in HIV-1 infected children in Kenya
BACKGROUND In resource-limited settings, such as Kenya, access to CD4 testing is limited. Therefore, evaluation of less expensive laboratory diagnostics is urgently needed to diagnose immuno-suppression in children. OBJECTIVES To evaluate utility of total lymphocyte count (TLC) as surrogate marker for CD4 count in HIV-infected children. METHODS This was a hospital based retrospective study ...
متن کاملEvaluating Total Lymphocyte Count as a Surrogate Marker for CD4 Cell Count in the Management of HIV-Infected Patients in Resource-Limited Settings: A Study from China
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the correlation of total lymphocyte count (TLC) and CD4 cell count and the suitability of TLC as a surrogate marker for CD4 cell count of HIV-infected patients in China. METHODS Usefulness of TLC as a surrogate marker for a CD4 cell count <350 cells/mm(3) for HIV-positive patients in China was evaluated by 977 pairs of TLC and CD4 cell count from 977 outpatients. The res...
